Topps released the basic images and product information for its 2009-10 Basketball set on Friday, a product that will include 110 Chrome cards as well as McDonald’s All-American cards among its offerings when it arrives in late August.

Each hobby box will include two Relic cards as well as one autographed Relic or signed card in every third box. There will be two numbered Chrome cards per box as well as Relic cards from the NBA All-Star Game and signed NBA Rookie Photo Shoot Patch cards to be found.

The basic set will consist of 330 cards, only 15 of those rookies. However there will still be 15 rookies in the Chrome set.

The Relic lineup consists of Roundball Remnants, Championship Material, All-Star Dual Relics, All-Star Quad Relics, a lengthy list of NBA Logoman Patches as well as Laundry Tags.

The McDonald’s All-American checklist remains TBD, but there will be Rookie Rewind Jumbo jersey cards that are autographed as well as Rookie Rewind Letterman patch autographs. Also among the autographed Relic lineup are Franchise Fabrics — a set that includes Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O’Neal and others — while there also will be a standard autographed Relic set

Each jumbo box will include three Relics and one signed Relic or autograph card as well as one numbered Chrome card in every pack.

More images and info after the jump.

Why is the designs so ugly? Also, why do you have Logoman’s for players who never had a jersey that featured a Logoman on it?
